Hi,
I've updated the vidcontrol sources to those in the current cvs and was
able to compile and install the patch on stable.
High resolution console is fantastic have 1400x1050 (MODE_322) on my
laptop now.
I get an "pfctl -sa", on one screen ... amazing :-))

It does make freebsd so much better ... I would be great to integrate
these patches in future releases, please!

The mouse actually works without problem in the console but I've a small
mouse bug after a reboot. I assume the /etc/rc.d/mouse script needs a
tiny patch. After a reboot and while launching the different
services/daemon, there are about 10 lines of vidcontrol errors. Here a
sample output:
vidcontrol: showing the mouse: invalid argument

Is there a patch available for the rc.d mouse script?

Thank you
Didier
